   English scientists have found a medical cure in an ancient book. Recently, they discovered an ancient recipe that fights a deadly bacteria that makes people sick. The recipe comes from a thousand -year- old book called
"Bald's Leechbook." The book was found in a University library in England.

   The medieval cure works against a type of deadly bacteria. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria. MRSA (pronounced mersa) is one kind that causes infections. It is
very difficult to treat. Most medicines do not work against MRSA, which makes it very dangerous.

Mixing The Old Recipe

   One thousand years ago, there was a medicine for eye infections. An herbalist, or healer, would make the medicine. An herbalist helped people who were sick by using herbs. To make up the recipe, the herbalist would take a brass pot. He or she would mix fluids from a cow’s stomach and a special type of garlic in the pot.

   Christina Lee, a professor, translated the recipe from the Old English language. She asked scientists to make the recipe and test it on MRSA bacteria.

   Nottingham scientist Freya Harrison took the challenge. Scientists in Harrison’s lab followed the recipe. In her lab, the thousand -year- old recipe was a powerful killer. Only about 1 in 1,000 MRSA bacteria cells survived the ancient drug. Later, the researchers tested the drug on mice. It killed 9 out of 10 MRSA bacteria.
